本题考查非谓语动词的用法。根据句子结构和语境可知，空格处需要填入一个非谓语动词来修饰名词短语"those students"，表示这些学生正在进行的动作。选项A “to come” 表示将来动作，不符合语境；选项B “come” 是动词原形，不能直接修饰名词短语；选项D “to have come” 表示已经完成的动作，也不符合语境。因此，正确答案是选项C “coming”，表示这些学生正在来的过程中，符合语境和语法结构。
18、The job applicant was worried about the interview_________he was well prepared.
A、if
B、because
C、when
D、though
解析：

20、Since computers were introduced, they_________to be useful tools for people weak in math.
A、had proved
B、have proved
C、will prove

Sound sleep occurs when one's internal clock is regulated. Circadian rhythms (生理节奏) can become compromised quite easily. Many people with sleep troubles tend to vary bedtimes. To avoid this common problem, sleep sufferers should go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. To help improve circadian rhythms,sufferers should enjoy 15 minutes of sun exposure the first thing in the morning.
A bedtime routine can help prevent insomnia(失眠). One hour before bedtime, one should lower the lights and relax.Reading a book or listening to calm music can help prepare the body for a good night's sleep. Taking a warm, candlelit bath or drinking a cup of warm milk can also help you prepare for deep sleep at night.
Stress can have a bad effect on the body and the ability to sleep. A daily exercise routine can help lower the body's stress naturally. One can also manage stress by writing diaries. Writing diaries can help people express their anxieties, plan for the future and improve sleep. Other ways to lower stress include deep breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation.
The light sending out from computers, cellphones, tablets and televisions can cause sleep problems.Therefore, these items should be turned off at least an hour before bedtime.Additionally,lowering the backlight on these electronic devices earlier in the evening can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer once bedtime arrives.
A perfect bedroom invites sweet sleep. Most people sleep better ina cool, dark, and quiet room. Lower the temperature in the room to 16 -20 degrees for a peaceful night's sleep. A dark room can be accomplished by installing light blocking curtains or wearing a sleep mask. Noise can be reduced with either earplugs or a white noise machine. Finally, a comfortable mattress(床垫) and pillowsare essential to a good night's sleep.

根据以下材料，回答40-43题
Tom was aged four but he was talking like a two-year-old baby. He was saying such things as"kick ball" and"want car", and using lots of one-word sentences. He should have been saying some really long sentences and telling stories with them. He wasn't.Something had gone terribly wrong.
Quite a few children have what is called a"language delay". For some reason they don't learn to speak as quickly as they should. Their friends shoot ahead and they're left behind. As aresult, they get very lonely. Nobody wants to talk to you if you can't talk back.
Can anything be done to help these children? Yes. They can go to see a speech therapist--a person who's specially trained to work out what's wrong and who knows how to teach language to children. This is what happened to Tom. The speech therapist played some games with him and heard how he talked. She made a recording of his speech, and chatted to his morn and dad about his background. They'd taken Tomto see a doctor, but the doctor hadn't found anything wrong with him.
He seemed perfectly normal in everyway--except he just wasn't talking.
After Tom and his parents had gone home,the therapist listened carefully to the recording she'd made. Then she looked at a chart which showed how language developed in children aged two, three,andfour. She could see Tom was a long way behind.
The next step, she decided, was to teachTom how to say some new sentences like "kick a red ball, " and"the clown is kicking a ball. " Tom didn't get the new sentences right straight away. But the therapist was very patient, and after a few more visits he started to make some progress.
23、How did the author introduce the topic of this passage ?
A、By describing grammar errors made by kids.
B、By sharing experiences of speech therapists.
C、By using Tom, s case as an example.
D、By stating his personal views to readers.

24、根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题
On a dry and cold Friday afternoon last October, Sharon Seline exchanged text messages with her daughter who was in college. They "chatted" back and forth, with the mom asking how things were going and the daughter answering positively followed by emoticons(表情符) showing smiles, b-i-g smiles and hearts.
Later that night, her daughter attempted suicide.
In the days that followed, it came to light that she'd hidden herself in her dorm, crying and showing signs of depression--a completely different reality from the one that she conveyed intexts and Facebook posts.
As human beings, our only real method ofconnection is through real communication. Studies show that only 7% of communication is based on writing and speaking. The majority of 93% is based onbody language. Indeed, it's only when we can hear a tone of voice or look into someone's eyes that we're able to know when "I'm fine" doesn't mean they're fine at all.
This is where social media gets risky.
With modern technology, anyone can hide behind the text, the e-mail, or the Facebook post,projecting any image they want and creating a false image of their choosing. They can be whoever they want tobe. And without the ability to receive body language, their audiences are nonethe wiser.
This presents a paradox which doesn't exist before. With all the powerful social technologies at our finger tips, we are more connected--and potentially more disconnected--than ever before.
Every relevant metric(衡量标准) shows that we are interacting at a great speed and frequency through social media.But are we really communicating? With 93% of our communication context(语境) lost, weare now attempting to establish relationships and make decisions based onphrases or emoticons, which may or may not accurately represent the truth.
{TS} Why does social media get risky according to the author?
A、The users' social connection is lost.
B、The users' messages may be ignored.
C、The users' real emotion may be hidden.
D、The users' voices can hardly be heard.
解析：
根据文章第六段第一句的内容，随着现代技术的发展，人们可以通过短信、电子邮件或Facebook帖子等方式隐藏自己的真实情感，展示他们想让别人看到的任何形象，创建自己的虚假形象。因此，社交媒介可能会隐藏用户的真实情感，这就是作者认为社交媒体存在风险的原因。
25、What phenomenon does the underlined word "paradox" ( Paragraph 7) reflect?
A、People can be both happy and unhappy.
B、People can be both connected and disconnected.
C、People can end up being both wise and stupid.
D、People can form both true and false impressions.
解析：
根据文章第七段第二句提到的“With all the powerful social technologies at our fingertips，we are more connected–and potentially more disconnected–than ever before”，可以得知，尽管社会科技使人们之间的联系更加紧密，但同时也可能导致人们之间的联系减少。因此，这里的“paradox”反映了人们既有联系也有不联系的现象，即选项B。
26、What is true about today's communication through social media?
A、It causes more health risks.
B、It gives little communication context.
C、It leads to better relationships.
D、It improves the quality of interaction.
解析：
根据文章提到的内容，通过社交媒体进行的交流会导致语境的缺失，人们试图根据短语或表情来建立关系和做出决定，这些短语或表情可能无法准确地传递真实意图。因此，正确答案是B，即社交媒体交流提供的语境很少。
27、What is the best title for the passage?
A、Social Media and Its Function
B、Social Media and Its Abuses
C、Social Media and Its Future
D、Social Media and Its Risks
解析：
文章主要讨论了社交媒体的风险，包括人们通过社交媒体传递的信息可能不真实，以及社交媒体使用不当可能带来的问题。因此，选项D “Social Media and Its Risks”（社交媒体及其风险）是最符合文章主题的标题。

Alan Lakein, a time management expert,thinks that nothing is a total waste of time, including doing nothing at times.If you arrange things so that you find time to relax and "donothing", you will get more done and have more fun doing it.
One of his clients, a space engineer,didn't know how to " do nothing ". Every minute of his leisure time was scheduled with intense activities. He had an outdoor-activities schedule in which he switched from skiing to tennis. His girlfriend kept up with him in these activities, although she would have preferred just to sit by the fire and relax once in a while. Like too many people, he felt the need to be doing something all the time, for doing nothing seemed a waste of time. His"relaxing by the fire" consisted of playing chess, reading magazines,or checking emails.
For an experiment, Alan asked him to"waste" his time for five minutes during one of their sessions together. What the engineer ended up doing was relaxing, sitting quietly and day dreaming.When he was finally able to admit that emotional reasons caused himto reject relaxing as a waste of time, he began to look more critically at thatway of thinking. Once he knew that relaxing was a good use of time, he became less serious about being busy and started enjoying each activity more.
Previously he had been so busy doing that he had no time to have fun at anything. He began to do less and have more fun.When Alan saw the client about three years later, he still had as busy aschedule as ever, but he was able to balance his activity with relaxing so thathe came back to work Monday morning not feeling tired out from a busy weekend but refreshed.
28、What did "doing nothing" mean to the space engineer at first?
A、Outdoor activities.
B、A waste of time.
C、Few daily schedules.
D、More family hours.
解析：
：根据文章第二段倒数第二句提到的，这位航天工程师和其他人一样，觉得有必要一直做点什么，因为什么都不做似乎就是在浪费时间。因此，对于这位工程师来说，"doing nothing"最初意味着浪费时间。
根据以下材料，回答52-55题
Socrates is often referred to as one ofthe founders of Western philosophy, and yet he wrote nothing, established no school, and held no particular theories of his own. What he did do, however,was frequently ask the questions that interested him, and in doing so developed a new way of thinking.This method proceeds(展开) as a dialogue between opposing views, and it earned him many enemies in Athens, where he lived.
As a young man, Socrates is believed to have studied natural philosophy, looking at the various explanations of the nature of the universe, but then became involved in the politics of thecity-state and concerned with more down-to-earth moral issues, such as the nature of justice.
However, he was not interested in winning arguments, or arguing for the sake of making money.
Nor was he seeking answers or explanations.He was simply examining the basis of the concepts we apply to ourselves ( suchas "good", "bad", and "just"), for he believed that understanding what we are is the first task of philosophy.
He was sentenced to death on charges of corrupting the young with bad ideas. But he also had many followers, and among them was Plato, who recorded Socrates' ideas in the written works, called dialogues,in which Socrates sets about examining various ideas.Socrates' central concern,then, was the examination of life, and it was his cruel questioning of people'smost valued beliefs ( largely about themselves) that earned him his enemies--but he remained committed to his task until the very end. According tothe account of his defense at his trial, Socrates chose death rather than face a life of ignorance: "The life which is unexamined is not worth living. "
29、What is true about Socrates?
A、Socrates solved the problems of Western philosophy.
B、Socrates tried to find answers to his questions.
C、Socrates forced his enemies to accept his ideas.
D、Socrates cared about the meaning of life.
解析：
根据文章最后一段第一句中提到的“Socrates’ central concern was the examination of life”，可以得知苏格拉底关注的是生命的真正意义。因此，正确答案是D，即苏格拉底关心生命的意义。
